Lately mixtapes have been in a pretty legit place. There have been a pretty good amount of solid tapes dropping at a fairly steady rate. They are making me and my Sony studio headphones smile ear to ear. One of my recent favorites has been the Sir Michael Rocks presents “The Rocks Report.” When one half of the Cool Kids drops a tape, you have to listen to it. The production is quite solid in my opinion. THe instrumentals that he has are solid. They are in the same league just like the majority of the Cool Kids beats. They will having you going, “I want that beat like now.” One of my top tracks on this cd would be the songs “Stagelights.” For most, it is a simple beat. For others they will notice that the sample is from Final Fantasy 7. (The sample is from the saving music found HERE)
Now to some this mixtape is just a “Cool Kid’s Light.” Yet Mikey (as some call him and yes he rocks)shows how he can hold his own. Some songs I will say make you wish that Chuck Inglish was right there with him on some of tracks. Even though it does not really happen, Sir Michael Rocks provides some quality lyrics. It is just a good tape to play when you are riding down the block.
4/5 stars
